The psychological report was excluded because it was not fresh (it could have been obtained for sentencing with reasonable diligence) and added no material information to affect the end sentence; the 10% discount for s27 factors was within the Judge's discretion given the appellant's continued denial undermining any clear causal contribution of mental health/addiction to the offending; therefore no error requiring intervention and the nine year imprisonment sentence is affirmed.
